All is well in Imigrante, on this 9'th day of Sailing, from Barbados on to
Calheta Sao Jorge, in the Azores, well today or just about one hour ago, i
passed the Half Way mark, on this passage, for a few minutes the G,P,S,
would tell me that i was 1,160,5 Miles, from Barbados and 1,160,5 from
Calheta Sao Jorge, in the Azores, it was a great felling realizing that i am
crossing the Half way point. I have been dragging the Jig, for a couple of
Days and nothing, but i keep on hooking trash, it really bothers me just how
full of pollution, the Oceans of the world are. There is a Depression at
22,30 North, and 72 West, sounds like it has a Name but i didn't copy, it,
its about 1,150 Miles to the South West, so i am fine
here.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,

For those of you who would like to really do a trip even if vicariously
here
is Joe on the Vessel Imigrante. Imigrante has been sailing for what seems
like forever...Came from the US down through the southern seas...returned
from Tasmania non stop to the Panama Canal through the Southern
Ocean...transitted the canal and is now on his way to the Azores.

Joe is a tuna fisherman, originally from the Azores but now out of San
Diego. He has done most of this trip single-handed. He is now reporting
into the Pacific Seafarers Net via Winlink as copying him directly has
become difficult.

The most interesting thing about Joe is that he remains charming and warm
even when he gets tired to the edge of losing it. He seems to have some
infinite resource he sucks up when we all believe he can go on no more.
